A Frame-Based Semantics of Locative Alternation in LTAG
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an analysis of locative alternation phenomena in Russian and English within a frame-based LTAG syntax-semantics interface. The combination of a syntactic theory with an extended domain of locality and frames provides a powerful mechanism for argument linking. Furthermore, the concept of tree families and unanchored trees in LTAG allows for a decomposition of meaning into lexical and constructional components.

A Frame-Based Semantics of the Dative Alternation in Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars
It is well known that the meaning of a verb-based construction depends not only on the lexical meaning of the verb but also on its specific syntagmatic environment. Lexical meaning interacts with constructional meaning in intricate ways and this interaction is crucial for theories of argument linking and the syntax-semantics interface. These insights have led proponents of Construction Grammar ...
متن کاملLocative Postpositions and Conceptual Structure in Japanese
This paper proposes two syntax-semantics correspondence rules which consistently account for the distribution of Japanese locative postpositions ni and de. We demonstrate how to adapt the machinery of the occurrence of the postpositions based on the assumption of Conceptual Semantics (Jackendoff, 1983; 1990; 1991) to fit the organization of Japanese grammar. The correspondence rules correlate w...
متن کاملApplication of Frame Semantics to Teaching Seeing and Hearing Vocabulary to Iranian EFL Learners
A term in one language rarely has an absolute synonymous meaning in the same language; besides, it rarely has an equivalent meaning in an L2. English synonyms of seeing and hearing are particularly grammatically and semantically different. Frame semantics is a good tool for discovering differences between synonymous words in L2 and differences between supposed L1 and L2 equivalents. Vocabulary ...
متن کاملTowards a Lexical-Constructional Account of the Locative Alternation
Following Fillmore’s (1968) discussion of verbs exhibiting different argument realization patterns, a number of syntactic studies have analyzed the spray-load alternation (e.g., Pinker 1989, Levin 1993, Dowty 2000) in different ways. One account that differs from primarily syntactically oriented analyses is Goldberg’s (1995) Construction Grammar approach. It proposes that multiple argument real...
متن کاملGlueTag Linear Logic based Semantics Construction for LTAG
In this paper we review existing appoaches to semantics construction in LTAG (Lexicalised Tree Adjoining Grammar) which are all based on the notion of derivation (tree)s. We argue that derivation structures in LTAG are not appropriate to guide semantic composition, due to a non-isomorphism, in LTAG, between the syntactic operation of adjunction on the one hand, and the semantic operations of co...
